IS THERE ANY HOPEq,
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS
: OF PULMONARY EXPERTS
Can the Universal Consumption b
Successfully Treatedf

DR.. Borgeon, a leading French doctor,
has new treatment for consumption.
He gives an enema OF carbonic acid
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part
of the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed al
efiects-the cause remains undisturbed.
What this caus els has been stated by
perhaps the highest pulmonary authority
in the w'r,l, i. e., the Brompton Hos
pital for Consulnptives, in London, Eng.
This maiady every year carries off from
one-seventh to onelifth of theSe entire
population of England!
DR.. Payne, NJ b, M.R.C.P., London, il
authority for this statement.
The same or q greater proportion oil
deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one-half the
total number Of deaths from all othe,
causes have seeds of this disease in the
system which only require some irritant
to develop!
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, says that consump.
ton is caused by deficient nutrition Of
the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritant in the blood that
causes the development OF the seeds
which DIR. Brehmer says lie dormant in
the blood
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and il they are in
the least deranged they cannot rid the
blood of its killing poison. The thousand
little hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys
very easily get blocked up and diseased
and when they do, they corrupt instead
of purifying the blood. Kidney disease
may exist, and yet no pain occur in tina,
| organ, because it is deficient in nerves OF
sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and
it soon testers and is destroyed. Send
acid poisoned blood through the lungs
every second, and they soon give way.
| The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 81 per cent. of the victims
Of. consumption were afflicted with de
ranged kidneys, which permitted the uric
acid poison to remain in the blood apl
irritate the lungs. This uric acid is al
ways fighting every vital organ, and i
there be any inherent weakness in TIT
lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia
cough and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary trouble!
being 80 authoritatively shown to bt
faulty even though unsupported action o
the kidneys, explains why, in order tt
master the drl AIDED consuml ton, on.
must rid the blood of the uric acid irri
tant which inf1ames and burns up tn,
lung substance. For this purpose Their,
is nothing equal to that great specific
Warmers safe cure. This remedy hal
now the favor of medical men all owe
the world purely on its merits. We hav,
no doubt that ii the Kidneys are kept il
natural action, consumption and a grea
many other diseases, caused by uric acid
will not only be cured but will be pre-
vented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albu
men appears in the water, but albumer
is found in the water of more than hal
of those who die of consumption!
This, then, is the condition of thing
that always precedes consumption
: First, weakened kidneys; second, re
tanned uric acid, poisoning the blood
third, the development Of disease il
the lungs by the irritant acids passin,
through them. Then there is littl
cough in the morning; soon thick, yelloy
matter is spit up, followed by loss c
flesh and strength, with dreadful night
sweatss; and when the patient goes to hi
school physician for help, he is put Of
cod-liver oil which his stomach, weak
ened also by uric acid in the blood, can
not digest. Because there is no pail
present in the kidneys, the patient doe
not think they are affected, but the kid
ney acid is doing its work every minute
every hour, day and night, and by-and-b,
the disease of the lungs has advanced
until pus is developed, then come hemor
rhages, and at last the CLASSY stare whicl
denotes that the end is near!
A post-mortem examination of sucl
cases shows that the terrible uric aci
has completely destroyed the substanc
Of the lung.
1t is impossible to cure lung diseas
Y when the blood il poisoned with uri
scid.
